A copper alloy artefact of the late Iron Age, currently unidentified. The object is essentially Y shaped in plan. The arms of the Y are formed from curved flat bars which are reminiscent of the sides of a spur. These arms bend downwards at the ends and they terminate in ancient breaks. The stem of the Y is formed from an ornate and complex loop which projects from the centre point of the arms. Where the elements join (though they were integrally cast) the arms part is wider and thicker than the rest of the arms. The projecting loop has a short neck, which is circular in section. Then …

A fragment of a glass annular bead. Only about quarter of the bead survives. It is 15.3mm long, 7.2mm wide and 5.6mm thick. It is sub-circular in section and would have had a radius of about 9mm.

One of the coins is a gold stater of Cunobelin (about AD 10-40). These coins originated in south-eastern England (modern Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and surrounding counties) and were produced in the late Iron Age. They are usually associated with the Trinovantes. Coins of Cunobelin are found over quite a widespread area and it is not uncommon for them to appear as far north as Yorkshire. The second coin is a gold stater inscribed VEP CORF. These were produced in about AD 20-40 in the north east Midlands and are usually associated with the Corieltavi.
